  2. SEO for Firefox<\/strong> \u2013 Offered by SEOBook.com, the SEO for Firefox Tool<\/a><\/span> shows SEO data for websites in Google search results pages when using Firefox as a web browser. The tools shows website PageRank, age of domain, links to the website, cached website pages, and more.

  3. Google Insights for Search<\/strong> \u2013 Google Insights for Search shows search interest over time for specific keywords, identifies rising searches, and shows locations the searches came from.

  6. Copyscape<\/strong> \u2013 Copyscape scans a website and identifies any duplicate content that is also found on other websites. Duplicate content is likely to be penalized by search engines and can lower rankings of the website that copied the content.

  7. Google Webmaster Tools<\/strong> \u2013 Google Webmaster Tools allows you to view your site as search engines see it with features such as search engine crawling errors, top site keywords, top search queries, backlinks, and more.

  8. Xenu\u2019s Link Sleuth<\/strong> \u2013 Xenu\u2019s Link Sleuth scans a website for broken links that result in a \u201c404 Not Found\u201d error or that are not correctly linking to other pages of the website.
